We'll he's certainly the strong favourite but so he was for the Ruiz fight and look what happened there. I'll be watching the fight for sure. Luckily it's on Dazn so I don't have to pay the £25 for PPV.

In related news the WBC has seemingly given the go ahead for the Fury/Joshua fight: https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12145775/tyson-fury-can-pursue-undisputed-world-title-clash-with-anthony-joshua-says-wbc-president-mauricio-sulaiman

But that would probably be invalidated if the appeal still goes through in favour of Wilder. No idea what's going on with the mediation though as it's been pretty quiet on that front.

A pretty unpredictable round this week. I'm on a mere 2.5 points so far but it seems about 3.5 was the average score this week. Might even be able to get the yellow cap though if I get tonight's two game's scores right (and the ones above me don't). I thought I was going to get the 2-1 Southampton win but then they went and blew it. Looks like Ollie is saved yet again. I think Arteta might be the first to go the way Arsenal are playing right now.


Didn't watch the game but caught the highlights. They didn't even show the incident or comment on it.



Luiz probably shouldn't have been allowed to play on looking at that, but seems they took him off at half time. Turns out Jiminez had surgery for a fractured skull:

Half the table could get the yellow cap right now as he's only on 7.5 points.


Leicester should easily win but not sure about Villa. Not sure what I'll go for on that one yet but probably won't be an away win.

Lending people money in bitcoin can turn honest people into dishonest ones pretty quickly. They might have every intention of paying it back but if they're unable to or the price rises significantly then it's all too easy to just disappear as there's probably little to no real world ramifications and the only damage done to them is a ruined account. That's what it looks like has happened here as he popped back to make repayments when he could have just disappeared but if he's under financial difficulty in real life then its going to be very difficult to make repayments back and would be far easier to just go awol.

Lending people money here is incredibly risky and doesn't really seem worth it in my opinion because all it takes is one person to run off with a decent chunk and your business will probably be in the red overall. You have to remember this question: why are they lending it in the first place? It's either because obviously they don't have sufficient money, which is already a red flag, or they're just borrowing to pay it back and build feedback up. Some will do this for legitimate reasons and others will do it for the long con

The accounts that have been spreading the 'Ethereum pill' malware. There's hundreds of them. You might not have noticed them if you haven't gone in the alt coin board though as they mainly seem to post in the eth thread there. They're all very old accounts that have been inactive for years so they probably just targeted ones with weak passwords and bruteforced them. Kinda stupid really because they get banned straight away and they could have probably made more money just by selling the accounts as there's a lot of decently ranked ones there.



I really doubt that nullius is lauda's alt. I don't think lauda is gone though. I'm sure he's on another account. Nullius just seems the same sort of autist that timelord is, but more pretentious.

Thought the Leeds game was gonna be another 0-0 thriller like it was with Arsenal last week but Leeds went and got the goal late on. I thought they dominated the first half and deserved the win, even though I backed them to lose. At least Leeds aren't conceding a ridiculous amount like they were, but these last two games shorelines really haven't been indicative of their performances.


I didn't watch it but just checked the highlights now and again it's one of those decisions where they've used a bad angle. Had they had a 'birds eye view' or one directly down the line it might have been onside, but either way who cares about these millimetre decisions. I seriously think they should consider allowing them if one part of the body is onside... or preferably getting rid of VAR  .



The last penalty was harsh, even though there was minor contact. Had he not purposely gone down with the amateur dramatics it wouldn't have been given. Not surprisingly nobody backed the draw but two people did go with the 1-0 home win.

This forum isn't a museum. A 16-man gangbang is a place of work but it doesn't belong in the office, nor do images of it even if they were painted by Courbet or any other French painter. You can certainly browse as many pictures as you want in your office if that so pleases you, but a lot of people here don't work in a museum or the Vatican and a lot of users likely won't want to be caught with vaginas on their screen - art or not - not to mention a lot of bosses and co-workers probably wouldn't appreciate it either. Sadly, I'm sure just calling them 'ignorant, uncultured rubes' wouldn't save them from their jobs or a disciplinary warning either.


Have you heard the fine works of William Frederick Durst? I particularly like the third movement of his seminal work: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water entitled "My Generation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE9CXWV1alg

The entire album is a masterpiece of nu metal and I would recommend it when reading my posts. 128kbs mp3 is available if you're interested.


Have you thought that some people might find it unnaceptable to look at pictures of vaginas too, regardless of who they were painted by? It looks like people have differing standards. Who would have thought not everyone thinks the same? So just to clarify, the word Cunt bad, but pictures of painted cunt ok? Gotcha.



And in professional and social contexts a lot of people probably don't want to see vaginas either, just like you probably wouldn't browse this forum in those circumstances. What would your associates say if they saw you looking at vile pictures of street-walkers and the evil devil's lettuce/dust? How ghastly! I'm not sure why you're even wasting time here wallowing in the mire with all us mere peons since this is all obviously below you.

Interesting. Nicely spotted. I think he should return, but I'd assume that his account is more likely to be hacked given the recent wave of inactive accounts that have been taken over.

Edit. Didn't see that he'd announced his return. I doubt he ever went away fully and always assumed he would return:


I'm sure lauda will come back at some point or he's still probably here somewhere under one guise or another.

You can't have been round here long or haven't paid much attention in Meta. People cry about muh freedom of speech after they've had their ref link removed or their general shitposting.


In your fantasy, I bet. I almost married the girl who introduced me to Limp Bizkit, Jaegerbombs and anal sex. She was an unclassy stunner in some pink velour sweatpants with 'juicy' printed on the arse. We spent hours, day and night, discussing fine literature like 50 Shades of Grey, pole dancing and classic nu metal. She was the living encyclopaedia of the Kardashians and the fine works of Banksy. She even posed nude for PlayBoy's Amateur Sluts of the month section and came in 23rd place that year!   Where's the barf emoji? You sound like one of those unsufferables who pretends to like things they think posh people do just to sound cultured, cos posh people just love classical music, fine wines and entry level 19th-century French painters.





Did she post the images to an unrelated internet message board?

It's not against the rules, but trolling and being a nuisance is so you can't just start screaming racial abuse at people just to try rile them up. It's probably an ad hominem most of the time and likely off-topic in most threads anyway. Abusing people based on their race tells me a lot about them though and these people usually aren't worth your time and if this sort of thing offends someone they should just utilise the ignore button and problem solved. This whole cancel culture trying to silence anyone who says something they don't like is getting out of hand and it's a very slippery slope (hope I just didn't offend Vietnamese now: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slope).


I think most of the abuse here is generated towards groups or nationalities with derogatory terms like pajeet etc and most forum member's nationality probably isn't a secret most of the time.


I wouldn't waste any time worrying or arguing with these idiots. It is quite worrying though how they've started redefining words and language to suit their beliefs. It's seemingly become quite a generally accepted term amongst them now that only white people can be racist, which is obviously completely moronic but suits their identity politics and victim mentality. Slavery is as old as mankind and Africans were enslaving themselves and then Arabs long before the Europeans got there, but nobody wants to hear about that or all the attempted genocides that happened within Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_central_Africa

I think most of us can generally accept that racism is bad and slavery was horrific, but unless you're out marching in the streets screaming Black Lives Matter some people will still call you racist, but you have to remember that these are the sorts of hypocritical idiots you're dealing with:




If someone uses terms like this is says a lot about them more than anything else. I mean, if you're going to be racist at least come up with something witty or original.


Woah there, you don't want to get negative feedback from gaylord2067 for being transphobic homophobic.

Yeah, I've gone for a couple of draws on them. Annoyingly I had 0-0 on last nights game and then Newcastle went and scored at 88 minutes then another two minutes later. 0-0 are always scores you can get a decent lead on points from as it's by far the least picked score, though four others did go for it as well on that game.


Three people missed it in the end. Only six people backed the away win so not a bad loss overall.


Sometimes you change them and they come in and sometimes your original choice does, but I tend to stick to my guns unless there's line-up changes.

Maybe they got spooked by the amount of coins/value you transferred there or the coins you sent were 'tainted' somehow. I'm sure they use some sort of tracking software to analyse where the coins come from and if they see anything traced back to the darknet or maybe some scams or ponzi schemes etc they might just take this extreme action to try cover their backs. They probably should give you the reason though.


Most people need to cash out their coins somehow. Coinbase might not be great but it's quick and simple to use, especially for beginners.

Don't forget there's a game on tonight between Palace and Newcastle. Many people seem to miss these sneaky Friday night games and 21 users still need to make their picks for it. It's not a game I'll be watching either way. Got a draw written all over it for me. Chelsea/Spurs is the game to watch for me this week. I might go with the Arsenal/Wolves match as well.


I've been around long enough to know nothing is guaranteed. $100k by next year is a bit of a stretch and as much as all the institutional money is coming in we can still see collapses the moment people get spooked. Doesn't take much if anything at all to spook people either.

Did nobody mention the Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor fight was finally confirmed for UFC 257 in January? Can't say I'm that fussed for the match up itself but it will be nice to see Conor fight again. I feel like he's still to reach his potential and hope he doesn't sulk off again.

People are getting excited about Khabib's insta post a couple of days ago saying see you soon to Dana White, but they could just be meeting up for a kebab for all we know  .



Conor eventually fighting Khabib again would surely break records especially as it will be his 30th fight and potentially 30th win. I hope Khabib doesn't retire either way and hopefully he was just emotional after the fight which is understandable.


Can't say I'm that excited about this card either. UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Chimaev in December 19th has some good fighters on it. Khamzat Chimaev, Greg Hardy and Jose Aldo are all fighting on the main. Michel Pereira is always fun to watch with his acrobatic street fighter moves but no idea why he's on the preliminary card though.

It seems they were re-enabled on April the 1st 2015: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1008863.0

I now remember they came along with the April Fools Day prank that year. I wonder how long it was before people started monetising them? 


Neither does a billboard at the side of the road or on a TV advertisement, but they get the message/product out there and it's still very good brand awareness and I've always said that signatures and avatars here are just like digital billboards. Avatars might not be clickable but signatures are and they're usually for the same product so they go hand in hand, especially when it's the avatar that might first grab your attention. You could always use the Personal Text to direct users to click on the signature as well, if it'll fit, but most use that to link to the site or state a current offer or something.

As ranochigo said above, a warning is shown when users have flags, but I think theymos should put a warning up in the digital goods forum on all threads on new users or maybe up until Junior Member or Member or something as far too many people get scammed by users who don't have flags. Not a this user is a scammer, warning but maybe to just urge caution when buying from untrusted sellers and to consider an escrow etc. I think that would stop a lot of scams fro happening without DT members having to get involved tagging every one of these accounts. If someone has an autobuy link they're almost certainly a scammer and many of the others who are selling digital goods will just scam you if you're naïve enough to send money to them. There's too many of them to police effectively and they will often have multiple accounts bumping multiple times a day and reports probably come in on a daily basis from users complaining that they've been scammed, and a lot of the time it's for a couple hundred dollars as well.

I don't think it's about offense, but it just not being relevant to discussion in certain boards.


And that's why it isn't shown as it shouldn't be relevant to that discussion. Someone with red trust could give sage advice but people then choose to disregard it because they see the feedback and it does influence how you perceive a person. Personally I can take it or leave it but we've been over the pros and cons of this numerous times and theymos is unlikely to change it now. I don't think it was that long ago that someone brought this up and everyone chimed in with their reasonings but I can't find the thread.

Not sure I understand you correctly, but sometimes signature bans are given instead of full and permanent account bans. That means that you can still post as normal but your signature is removed for a period of time instead. Given that you were a Junior Member you don't have much of one anyway but it'll mean you can still collect bounties as long as they don't require your signature.

Technically it's against the rules to create a new account once banned but ban evasion isn't really enforced here and nobody will know if you don't publicly link them together somehow. Maybe a signature ban can be issued instead though, but given your account is only a Junior Member it really wouldn't take long to get back there.

Also, please stop double posting as it won't help your case. You can edit your previous post with new info.

Big surprise Liverpool lost and not unsurprisingly nobody backed them to do so. Most of the other games had expected results. Thought Real might have been a draw but I guess Arturo Vidal getting sent off quite early will have had an impact. Went for 1-0 on the ATL Madrid game and it was 0-0 so was pretty close there. Thought I did pretty well overall but still finished second from bottom this round. I guess not getting any correct scores is what did the damage. Didn't actually watch any of the games this round but will catch up on the highlights later today.


I mentioned a couple of days ago that it'll probably be next month.

A lot of people have been given pardons or signature bans for plagiarism so it's not a death sentence like it used to be. Signature bans are probably far more appropriate in most of the minor cases rather than a lifetime ban. I really wish theymos would sort the welcome message out urging users to read the rules as this would stop a lot of plagiarism. I think it would be a good idea maybe adding warnings when Newbies/Junior Members go to post highlighting a few of the main rules like do not plagiarise content, do not post referral links etc. There wouldn't be any excuses then as they are literally warned before posting.


It's only a Junior Member. It would take 3 activity periods to get the required activity to become one again.
